@Undo What's so funny?

eh?

better?

Frank

@Undo Yeah. I just edited the question again so now they're both nice.

hichris123

@lostsock I dunno.

@hichris123 Somehow you are printing HTML entities. Your SmokeDetector isn't linked to your github so I can't see where it's happening

Frank

On the GL site self evaluation, one of the ones I answered got 1 satisfactory and 8 excellent, yet I only get 3 upvotes. Weird.

@Andy spits slightly

Braiam

and will moderators will stop moderating?

hichris123

@Andy hold on a few minutes... I'm running a pretty old version of Smokey, so that might be it.

Frank

*splits

Andy

@hichris123 That could be. I sort of remember it being an issue at some point, but I don't know when it was fixed

Frank

How is participation sorted as in 'users?tab=participation'

user259867

@Frank Hover over the tab name

hichris123

@Andy github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/commit/…

Frank

@CareBear I mean, how do they decide what participation is?

Andy

@hichris123 I'm surprised it's that recent.

How old of a version are you running?

user259867

@Frank By adding the total number of posts, comments, votes and edits in the past 60 days... this is what the hovertext says. Then sort users by that number.

hichris123

12:58 AM

@Andy hold on a sec.

Frank

@CareBear Ah. That's not what the hover text said for me.

hichris123

@Andy 7/01/14. "Merge pull request #7"

user259867

SO leaders in participation include a few regular Taverners.

Andy

@hichris123 That explains why you're printing that way then. :)

Was there a reason for using the older version for your tests?

hichris123

@Andy That's when I started, and I didn't want to have to rebase. :p

Andy

1:01 AM

Ah. Well, it's a reason then :)

hichris123

Alright, manually fixed.

Frank

@CareBear Most noticeably, @Uni.

@bjb568 Looks like it's going well.

noHup. Yup

@bjb568 Uni was the second to commit.

Huh.

@bjb568 Vas?

@Frank What's a vas?

1:15 AM

@bjb568 but the answer to every question will be use duct tape

bjb568

Don't you mean… duck tape? :P

Frank

@bjb568 'What"

bjb568

@Frank Oh. I said huh. That means nothing.

Frank

@bjb568 I wondered why.

bjb568

Or, more specifically, "I would like you to know that I think what you said is mildly interesting regardless of how I truly feel."

Duct tape

Duct tape or duck tape is cloth- or scrim-backed pressure-sensitive tape often coated with polyethylene. There are a variety of constructions using different backings and adhesives. One variation is gaffer tape designed to be cleanly removed, while duct tape is not. Another variation is heat-resistant duct tape useful for sealing heating/ventilation/air-conditioning (HVAC) ducts, produced because standard duct tape fails quickly when used on heating ducts. Duct tape is generally gray or black but also available in other colors. During World War II, Revolite, then a division of Johnson & Johnson...

Frank

@bjb568 :) Nice.

bjb568

@lostsock I know. I was referencing @InfiniteRecursion

Frank

@lostsock Yeah, duck tape is decorative and colorful.

bjb568

And all-natural and organic.

Frank

@bjb568 Huh.

lostsock

1:21 AM

"According to NASA engineer Jerry Woodfill, duct tape had been stowed on board every mission since early in the Gemini days."

thinks about joining area51 to propose ducktape.SE

Coffee is 58% committed. Tim Post is by far the highest rep committer, and then Shadow Wizard. Be interesting if they can ever get enough q/day to make it.

What's wrong with juice? I like juice.

Frank

@bjb568 Not... tree juice!?

Oh look, my ★ 7 has 7 stars. Better stay that way.

bjb568

@Frank No. Cranberry-tangerine.

Frank

@bjb568 sigh

@bjb568 YUCK!!

That's disgusting.

@bjb568 Drop dead.

bjb568

The public services people don't like it when trees drop dead into houses and streets.

Frank

@bjb568 You're not a tree, so not a problem.

bjb568

@Frank Didn't you mean you are dropping dead?

Frank

@bjb568 No, I was using the power of suggestion at you.

bjb568

1:40 AM

@Frank Oh.

@bjb568 .hO

Should the name be red too, not just the dot?

Bitcoin might have a problem with spam now... five of six pro-tem mods resign, and the number of volunteers to replace them is... zero.

user259867

@bjb568 Better idea: if nobody wants to be a diamond on Bitcoin, SE should appoint Smokie, Pham and Zephyr as moderators there.

Frank

@CareBear Why do they have twice as any pro-tem mods as GL?

@AndrewT. Spam gone

user259867

@Frank Because of the topic, I suppose. More spam, and on this subject, it may be hard to tell the difference between spam and regular low-quality posts.

Frank

@CareBear Ah. GL is a clean site.

2:35 AM

Has anybody tried writing a bot that posts on SE to gain rep using an AI algo?

user259867

@bjb568 I don't know of any, but it should be doable on Math.SE. Take the integral or limit from the question, plug into Wolfram Alpha, post the output.

Andrew T.

Then the user should have gone to Wolfram Alpha instead, not Math.SE :/

bjb568

@CareBear It might be doable on SO too. Google for code, mash it up, post the code and error with a AI'd problem description. It'd work better than most humans definitely.

Frank

Wolfram Alpha == too slow. Takes forever to load.

Night all!

bjb568

Night!
